MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Sportsnet 650 hasn't seemed to hire any of the familiar voices. They have a long way to go and Im not interested in their content yet. My go-to podcast is Rink Wide with Jeff Paterson. But it won't fill my listening time. There's quite a few podcasts out there. Its just a matter of which ones are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlackRedYellow Posted November 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2021 Donnie and Dhali, without a doubt! There’re funny and informative. Has great guests too. And they also don’t always agree with each other. Rink Wide is very repetitive and they are always in agreement which makes it a bit boring. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thomas Drance and Farhan Lalji - Vancast - more critical analysis of the Canucks. Drance can get sorta annoying with his laugh and arrogance, but Lalji seems to balance him off with good counterarguments. They give good behind the scenes information such as their experiences and run in with the organization throughout the week/season that we don't hear about. Canucks Conversation - Chris Faber and David Quadrelli - more focus on prospects and general talk about the Canucks, some frat boy stuff which gets kinda boring and eye rolling, but they give good insight on the prospects and aspects 650 doesn't really cover about the Canucks. Sportsnet 650: The People's Show 3-7pm - Sat Shah, Randeep Janda, and Dan Riccio are great. Probably the best coverage of the Canucks so far. They have one person take on the negative side, another taking the positive side, and one of them mediates. Probably the most grounded segment because they don't trend too far to one spectrum. Sportsnet 650: Canucks hour 11-12pm - Thomas Drance and Jamie Dodd - very concentrated Canucks talk generally talking analysis of the previous game or bringing updates from practice Sportsnet 650: Canucks Central 12-3pm - Bik Nizzar and Josh Elliotte Wolf - I like Bik because he seems to be a little bit more attuned to the fanbase and allows the fans to text in and call in more often so that they address fan's issues that they bring up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The two I enjoy are Halford & Brough and Canucks Conversations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverHabitant Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Canucks Conversation for me. I also enjoy those guys on Saturdays for the Canucks Warmup on 650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Canucks Conversation has certainly grown on me. Drance still has not , and never will. Too obnoxious for my taste, to the point where I hope he reads this thread and realizes how annoying he is. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an instant cue to listen to music for me as soon as I hear Drancie Downer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Imo, this forum has alot more to offer and (is far) more entertaining than any of those shows mentioned cause the views in this forum is alot more diverse or schizophrenic - depending on what the Canucks are doing on/off the ice.

Hairy Kneel Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I love listening to Jannik Hansen's upper octave. Tuesdays? He should have his own pod cast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCG ! I usually listen to Halford and Brough while on this forum. Definitely my favourite hosts, especially for younger fans like me. The people's show on 650 is pretty decent as well. While Drance is usually a Debbie downer, I like following his twitter and arguing with him there lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksPassion2 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Canucks Convo and Donnie/Dhali are all I need. Dhali cracks me up, freaks out about the smallest things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Agreement on Donnie and Dhali, they are the gold standard. Vancast is ok too but mainly just for Farhan. Both podcasts have original thoughts and content as well as some insider information. I find most others to be hacks and sound too much like broken records as they repeat continuously what they have heard from others with no originality or real knowledge on what they speak on. I put Faber and Quads in their Canucks Conversation in this sensationism hack category and would avoid.

MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Sportsnet 650 sucks. They are still talking about Mcdavid and pumping his tires. What is this... the Oilers post game show ? Off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 I ran into Dave Pratt on Twitter. His page says he has a podcast called the Prattcast (of course) But the website looks incomplete and there isn't any episodes on there. Plus nothing comes up on search. Yes. I know. Some ppl don't like him. But our fanbase always rags on media ppl like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilgore Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I just want to say that this new podcast world is heaven. I was gutted when they took 1040 off the air. I still think it was a dumb move by Bell. That station was rocking the ratings over the station that actually had the Canucks rights, and access. So when I found Donnie and Dhali podcasts available, thank you Chek TV, the world was okay again. Miss the Moj, but he's still doing Lions. But the best thing about podcasts is besides being free, you can listen to them anytime during the day. I know, "that's right boomer". But I find it amazing. I can hear Halford and Brough at a godly hour ffs. I also like Rink Wide. Especially their post game shows. They are less than an hour, but Wadden and Jeff break the game down pretty good in that time. I'll listen to the other ones like Canucks Conversation. Vancast with Drance, because I like listening to him punish the team, especially after a particularly uninspired effort. Still haven't given a second to Sekeres and Price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 There's a new guy called Parker's Pucks who is quite promising. Knows the game, seems like a natural broadcaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
